2007 Goofy short "How to Hook Up Your Home Theater"

[wsultzbach]

I bought it on iTunes, but I normally watch all my movies on by computer anyway. Anyhow, there was an article on AWN about this short and they also mentioned more in production.

Here's the upcoming 2D shorts:

1. Kevin Deters and Stevie Wermers (directors of Home Theater) are working on a short about the Loch Ness Monster titled The Ballad of Nessie.

2. They also want to do another Goofy "how to" short.

3. Eric Goldberg is working on a Mickey, Donald, and Goofy short; similar to Boat Builders.

The Ballad of Nessie is even listed on the WDAS website.

^yay! I can't wait to watch them all. Thanks for the heads up I'm looking forward to the last one the most, just to see if Mickey got his personality back (and what he's up to these days), seeing how Lassester seems to have this whole "going back to their roots" thing going on, as evident by the new logo.

Thanks a heap for the youtube link btw, the short is hilarious Great animation too - finally the use of computer technology is used to enhance animation, rather than do what the artists couldn't be bothered doing

I finally got to see this on YouTube, and I absolutely loved it. It is so recognizable (someone on the HomeTheater forum got the response "So, they finally made a film about you." ), and yet a very good homage to the classic Goofy shorts. The only problem I have with it, is that it is very hard to top (the Pixar guys are movie buffs, and they obviously put a lot of their own experiences in it) and if they do more of them, are they going to continue the 50s feeling of it?

Hmm.

I uploaded it under the GoofyShort account I made, but now that it has so many comments I don't really want to delete it...

My intention was to have it in "high quality" but for some reason it refused to encode it that way. I can try uploading it in a different format... or maybe I can make it a second video called (HD Version).

--EDIT--

Hey, look!

I guess it DID work. Maybe it was just lagged for a few days? I've never had it take quite that long but if you guys want to watch it in high quality, click the link I just pasted.

Thanks! You can see more of the small details, now. I had noticed the caricature of John Lasseter and the picture of Walt on the drawer, but now I noticed some other things as well. For instance, the cardboard television box has a Dopey Digital logo on it, and its serial number is M1C-K3Y M0-U5E. And the television is a ridiculously 1200 inches big. These are fun things to discover .

Yeah it took me a couple of watches through to spot everything

Aw, dang it!

Which one of you hooligans reported me to the copyright police?

I'm kidding, of course, but this will mean I'll have to reupload it. Disney filed a copyright claim which means they removed access to it (and unlike some music studios, instead of forcing ads on the page they just wanted it removed).

In a day or two I'll have it up again... look for a new link. There's this neat trick in XviD that you can change it to XviD, DIVX, and DX50 without actually re-encoding the file. So therefore I can have it on there 3 times and it'll think it's a different file.
For those of you who don't speak nerd, basically I can upload the same file but get around YouTube's black-list.
